A very interesting site I found while looking for the infamous Flame Tornado.

http://srl.org/

The Survival Research Labs, a manical group of science fanatics making robots with flame throwers and telsa coils and putting on a show for the public. Strange enough, it was founded by a Mr Mark Paulin , any relation Brett

These guys have been putting out some funky stuff since 78' and they see to put on quite a show, some of there machines are brilliant!

The Pitching Machine - http://srl.org/machines/pitching/ *Brett showed me this one at RoboWars 2003*
The Hover Machine - http://srl.org/machines/hovercraft/ *Pulsejet Hovercraft, nice*
The Flame Hurricane - http://srl.org/machines/flamehurricane/ *Brett Showed me this one too*
V1 - http://srl.org/machines/v1/ *One big flamer thrower!*

There is a few large videos of them testing the machines here: http://srl.org/machines/machinetests/

So for those with broadband or lots of online time for 56k, check them out!

sure as hell beats my idea of equiping a rc helicopter with a paint ball gun attachment

Nah, fitting an rc wing with 20 bottlerockits is still cool to me!

lol no i like my cousins planes they had made up

basically 2 large rc airplanes like jeffs (ideas ) with paint ball guns mounted to the under carage the idea was to hit each plane however it more ofteren than not ended chasing old ladys down the road fireing multi coloured paint balls almost all of which missed but amusing none the less

You do realise that the SRL have been baned from entering in several countrys because they were endangering the audiance at there shows, such as firing fence posts over 100km/h less then a meter over the audiances heads.
The were also invited to do a demonstration during the half time break at the first Robot Wars in 1994 and they brought along a machine that was designed to be very loud. The event organisers handed out ear muffs to the audiance but before they could warn them to put them on the SRL guys turned the machine on so, as they say, the audiance could really here it. The noise was well above the pain threshhold. And the SRL guys were wearing ear muffs, but no one else was. The audiance for the second half of the Robot Wars event was a lot smaller. Since then the fighting robot guys have kepted away from the SRL guys.
